re: Arkansas health and fitness thread

It's very hard when the person you are with isn't quite the same. I love to cook and despite how limited my diet is, it's damn good food. Being the girl....the guy just eats whatever I make, so it's not quite the same for me. I would have major issues with someone that thinks Velveeta is cheese, though.

Damn velveeta and American "cheese"



try melting some real cheeses (i like gouda & mozz) with a little butter (real stuff), milk, and a generous amount of red pepper with some pasta. You'll never look back to the orange slime again.

if you ever have questions about food and what is in what you are buying, feel free to ask me. As well as ideas on actually being able to pull it off in real life. That was the hard part for me.

My fiancee is a pretty big foodie and cheese is one of the things she likes to indulge herself in from time to time. I like it too, but I tend not to like really strongly flavored cheeses, or very soft cheeses. I can get down with a good camembert from time to time, though.

We are kind of derailing this thread... maybe we should have a food thread?

Obviously we need some subforums.

Try to run at least 3 times a week. Mix in P90x workouts. Been hampered with plantars lately though

6'1" 235

between vacationing to Chicago a couple weeks before thanksgiving and then christmas and new year celebrations I have put on 15 lbs. Sucks. stupid calories and laziness.

It's been a long road for me. I was always pretty heavy but got real fat in college (2001-2006). Don't know if they still do but Eureka had their 3 small one topping pizzas for $7 deal and kraft easy mac had just come out when I was on the hill. got up to 285. stayed that way until my first child came (2008). Got motivated to be healthy for him and got down to 220. Ultimate goal is right at 200.

Lost the first 40lbs with weight lifting and eliptical/treadmill.

lost the rest doing Insanity. That shite is nuts, to me. but it works.

just bought a sweet arse power rack for my garage and am eager to sort of create a nice routine for myself.

goal workout is 5-7 days a week depending on level of motivation and time available . Lift MWF, Insanity T,Sat, Run 2-3 mi Th, Sun.

I believe in doing something for at least 20-30 min everyday. I realize this workout schedule could burn a person out, but it really shouldn't be too hard to find the motivation to run a couple miles or at least do the warm up and stretch of insanity on an "off" day

Dis u manage to check out snap?

i've been a total lazy slob the last 3 months

I did this for about a year

I didn't gain any weight really (yay, Asian genetics) but I got out of shape. I just started slowly doing things here and there and now I have a little routine I do everyday. It's not much but enough to not feel like a lazy piece of shite.

I can do about 5 real ones so I stick to the pussy push ups. I have a weak chest/weak arms but pretty strong legs.

It's more diagonal since I'm half white.
